Edwin, put the bong down....

I see a bunch of injury threads, so lets get a count of who's screwed this summer. I've been off for a month, and have at least one more to go from a buggered up rotator cuff which has led to a frozen shoulder. My first visit to the physical therapist was all massages and gentle stretching - now...

So, I get to work this morning and am comparing weekends with a friend of mine. She went to another friend's lakehouse for a girls weekend, and they all ended up out on the lake in the boat. While they were driving, some couches came to jump the wake, and since they'd all been drinking they...

Anyone seen one? What's new for '08? https://www.wamiltons.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=282

Just got back off a week's vacation with an injury (as per usual). I was jumping in some pretty decent surf, got a bit out of shape and decided to bail. The trouble is that I didn't quite push the ski away enough, so I landed on the ski from about 10 feet up! Smacked my head (wearing a helmet)...

Congratulations Garrett - very well deserved :hail: :hail: For those of you who weren't following Garret's build up thread, he turned a square nose into something completely unique and awesome looking. The details were amazing too - innovation everywhere. This is what the build off is all...

I thought I'd post up some pics before I head out of town again tomorrow and forget. These are my first pics with my new Canon G7 and I must say that I'm very pleased :biggrin: Very nice little camera when you don't want to carry an SLR. PM me your e-mail address if you want any full res copies.

Just bought a beach cart from Dan: everything was as described, and Dan went out of his way to get the cart to me quickly since I needed it in a hurry. Very honest seller - highly recommended :biggthumpup: Thanks Dan.

This question gets asked a lot, and we all know the standard arguments for and against, but it's tough for a beginner trying to figure out which to buy. The trouble is that there are good arguments on both sides, and whose opinion is the right one? I figured actions speak louder than words, so...

OK, I have my shiny new XMetal pole, and I had the foresight to crack my stock hood in the Cherry Buster at Daytona, so now I'm in the market for a new hood. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions and recommendations. I'm a flat water rider, so the hood is as much something to cling to as keep...

Two questions: 1) How do you fit the Watercraft Factory pad to the XMW pole? 2) Is there anything about fitting a new pole that isn't a pain in the arse? :banghead:

Damn - he's all over the boards today. Let's see how long it takes him to respond to this. Synchronize watches.... on my mark.... go! :cool2:

Getting ready to fit my new pole tomorrow. I just pulled the old one off, and am about to glass in the stock hole ready for drilling two new ones. I have two questions: 1) Do the XMW bolts go in the same place as stock, or do I have to fill and re-drill them? 2) What size hole cutter do I...

I just noticed three huge cracks in my handlepole right at the top bend - 10" cracks down one side a a 2" crack underneath with exposed fibers. I'm not getting anywhere near the surf with that thing. I'll call XMetal in the morning to try to get one over-nighted (or perhaps ask Pat to bring a...

I just checked mine and the girdle bolts had definitely loosened off quite a bit. Can't remember the last time I checked, but I'll be doing it more often from now on....

I have sinusitis - so much pressure in my head it feels like it's going to explode, and a continuous headache for 4 days that just won't go away :headache: Got a steroid shot last night and a dose of antibiotics, so I should be OK for the ride. Who else is trying to get healthy in a hurry...

It doesn't matter what I tell myself, as soon as I get in the air my brain simply will not let me take my feet out of the footholds! It just feels all wrong. How do you start to do this trick? I guess my biggest worry is not getting back behind the ski enough to miss it when I land (remember: I...

I was having fun - thought I'd share. The landing off the no-handed nose stab wasn't too pretty (neither was the failed barrel roll!!)

I was trying out some new things with nose stabs yesterday. I did my first look-back: that wasn't so hard and felt kinda cool. I also tried a one handed look-back, although the landing wasn't much fun.... I was thinking about trying a no-hander too but got a bit too tired to risk it. What...

I live much closer to the water now, so I'm planning on riding through the winter. In the summer I wear ASICs, so my footholds are padded right for them, which doesn't leave much room for bulky winter boots. Does anyone have any tips on warm boots that will fit in my ASIC-sized footholds?
